Default Sports Bras!!

Hello ladies! Does anyone know of a good shop or website where I can get some sports bras? The only ones I've found don't fit (I'm a 36DD).
Any input would be wonderful! Hope everyone's feeling well and living well.

I really hope someone has some suggestions for you. I'm also a 36DD and haven't been able to find an adequate sports bra since college!

i found a GREAT one at my local running store - but i can't for the life of me remember what brand or style it is. i'm also a 36DD. will try and check the label tonight if i remember and will post tomorrow.

nike makes some good ones for larger cup sizes, that aren't just bigger versions of the small ones (not very supportive, cut into your shoulder, etc.)

I'm 34 D and I'm a medium in Nike's sports bras, and they're my favorite I've found so far. Should be able to get them at most sports stores! Good luck!

I like Champion Sports bras the best. I'm a 38/36D (depending on how the fit is).

I wear a 38DD and just found a sports bra that works. It is an Enell. I tried a Nike one and a Champion one before getting the Enell. I ran a 5K this weekend and the Enell was amazing! They have a website www.enell.com I think. I got mine at a local running store called Fleet Feet. Good luck!

try jms.com they have underwear for plus size so I'm sure they would have your size.

Update:
I just checked out the website and they have champion bras on sale and they do have your size.

Ah, the Enell. I'm a 44DD-44DDD, and was never able to run because my boobs would suffocate me. It always hurt sooo bad. I recently bought the Enell, which I saw was very highly recommended. Even Oprah swears by it. I tend to avoid Oprah, but I know that her endorsement usually does mean something. Anyway, it's AMAZING. It almost makes me flat chested. They're no longer a problem, and I can actually run! It's a bit pricey at about $60, but worth it. Considering many of you would normally use two sports bras to hold them in, it saves you there. And it's so high quality that it'll last forever. I definitely recommend it.

I found these ones called "Shock Absorbers". I'm a 38D. They're fantastic. Nothing moves...even when I'm doing sprints in the treadmill.

I use a brand called Moving Comfort. I think you can get them at Dick's Sporting Goods. I am a 34DD and it has been so hard to find a sports bra that keeps the girls in place when I'm doing high impact stuff like running. I have generally found as a rule for larger breasted ladies that the compression bras (the ones you pull over your head) that you can get just about anywhere and don't cost that much aren't very good for large breasts. I have always found better support in the bras that have hooks in the back just like regular bras. I definitely have to say that I've found that larger breasted women have to spend a bit more money on to get a good sports bra, but I have found it's worth it.

I've also read great things about Enell bras for larger breasted women.

Moving Comfort was the brand I bought (I remembered to check the label after my run today.) I usually wear a 36DD but ended up in a 38D for them. Extraordinarily helpful salesperson!!! Haven't tried the Enell but I might now.

Cheers!

Another Enell junkie here! I'm a 36DD and don't wear anything else (after trying several.) I can run in them, play volleyball, etc... those suckers are strapped down and don't move an inch. The bras are a little pricey, but well worth the money, IMO.
